Christian Education and spreading the Good News:
LIJ started prayer groups and Bible Study groups for the youth, women, men and children in the vllages where no pastor reaches and Christians are living in the minority. At present over fifty prayer groups have been formed and they meet regularly. LIJ has formed Bible Study Groups for the Bible reading. As we work in the illiterate people, we have to dramatize the parables and tell them what is written in the Bible. These Bible Study Groups meets daily in the evening. God has shown miracles in the Bible Study Circles. Many of them changed and accepted God in their lives.
LIJ responds to the emrgency needs of the Christian people living in the villages and the urban slums. So far LIJ reached and helped the Christian in distress and disaster. We helped the affectees of attacks on the churches and Christian institutions after the September 11, 2001 incidents. LIJ approached and helped the Christian women and followed the case up in the court. The most significant cases where lij helped the Christians were the home relocation of twenty families, construction of small churches for their prayer and rehabilitation of the fifty three families who suffered because the canal water proved disastrous for them.
Being a poor country, Pakistan is not able to provide health facilities to all the people in the country but the Christians are most vulnerable because the religious prejudice is practiced even at this level. The women especially face the hard time at the time of pregnency, they have to travel by tractor/trolley or donkey cart to reach the maternity home LIJ has started a health unit for the poor people where the medicines are provided free of charge and doctors provide their services regularly.LIJ also organizes the moblie medical camps to provide the services to the people in the remote areas.
Education is perhaps the most important component which needs LIJ's attention. We have started ten small schools for the working Christian children. In these schools we teach them Christian values and ways of life as they do not have chance to explore God in them in their daily lives.At present total 500 children are studying in lij schools.
Future Plans:
. LIJ has planned to hold the Prayer and Healing Crusades for the Christian formation of the people.
2. LIJ will establish a hospital and the home for Senior Citizens to give them serene life and time to reflect so that the youth can learn from their life experiences.
3. LIJ plans to launch a Mobile Dispensary to reach out to the people in remote areas.
4. LIJ has seen the demand that we should have a movie unit where we can show Christian movies for the education of the illiterate people.
lij appeals to all God fearing, peace loving and Christian people to donate for the LIJ cause. We have continued our mission with the donations from our friends all over the world and will welcome any help. We need your prayers also.
